today i played with the harddisk feature and get stucked by using it with the mixer.

i cant find an option to mix the recorded tracks with the sequenzer tracks.
it makes no sense to me, because i cant mix the track until i record the whole sequenzer song to a hd-track.

i think this is not userfriendly, or didnt i find the right menu?

Yes, it is a workflow you have to get used to. I complained in the beginning of betatesting about it too, since the sequencer mixer and the HD mixer are not integrated in one screen.
But you get used to it after a while. If you have any questions about it let me know please!

Let say I have recorded some tracks ,..would it be possible to use the sliders to adjust volume of the tracks or do you need to do it in the mixer menu? I see it has 4 sliders, ? I need something like a VS1880 ,..just to play 4 tracks that I could adjust their volume with a slider for now,..thnx

You mean the Q link controllers? (sliders): yes of course, those are by default controllers for your mixer when in MIXER MODE.
